Relax and Refresh Right Here in Metro Manila during the Holy Week

The Holy Week marks a time for contemplation and rejuvenation. It also gives you time to be away from your desk and office and be with family, friends, or just yourself. Some people spend this time going out of town or even out of the country, while others choose to just stay home and make the most out of their time there.

If you won’t be leaving the Metro during the Holy Week, no worries because we’ve got you covered. This week, we’ve listed some of the things you can do to enjoy in the city during your much-deserved time off:

Staycations are a trend that’s gaining traction as more and more people choose to stay in one place than go somewhere else and spend a lot of time, money, and effort.

If you are part of the stay-in-one-place flock, you can book a room in Metro Manila’s finest hotels or resorts and enjoy tons of amenities that come with your staycation: swimming pools, spas, gyms, buffets, theaters, shopping centers, cafes, bars, and even gaming areas.

Not only does it save you from the traffic-ridden drive to provinces, it also helps you allot time to create great memories with the people you love. Having fun with your family and friends within arm’s reach is, after all, the idea of staycations.

During the Holy Week, Metro Manila is quite traffic-free, which gives you and your family the chance to see the city from a fresher perspective and enjoy what it has to offer.

Plan a family day and visit the places you typically avoid because of traffic. There are public spaces, like the Quezon Memorial Circle, Rizal Park, and the green parks in Makati or Bonifacio Global City, where you can have picnics, go jogging, or play sports.

You can also have a tour at the historic places in Manila, like Intramuros. Take pictures with your family with some of the most important structures in the Philippines as your background.

If you want to relax and unwind from home, why not try a new hobby? This time of reflection and peace is the perfect moment to dig deep into your interests and start finding ways to do what you like.

If you’re a bookworm, take a book and start reading. If you’re interested in keeping fit, it may be best to give time to biking, jogging, or even yoga. If you like art, maybe you can start creating your masterpiece now.

The peace and quiet time that the Holy Week brings can help you recollect and do what interests you, without work coming into the picture.

You may think that Metro Manila doesn’t have green spaces, but that’s not true. There are areas in the city that can help you connect with nature within the urban jungle.

One of the most popular ones is the La Mesa Eco Park. You can take the chance this Holy Week to drive smoothly to Quezon City and reach this carefully preserved green haven and reservoir. Once there, you’ll forget all about the city and feel one with nature.

If you’re looking for an environment that’s right in the heart of the metro, you can also go to Makati’s Washington Sycip Park. This park prides itself for its lush greenery and tall trees that sit right at the center of the country’s business district.

Spending your Holy Week in Metro Manila can be as fun as going on a vacation spree outside the city. Go through our list and pick what you like to do this Holy Week with the people who inspire you to do great in your business.
